Understanding the functionality of the rumen microbiota: searching for better opportunities for rumen microbial manipulation [PDF]
Animal BioscienceRumen microbiota play a central role in the digestive process of ruminants. Their remarkable ability to break down complex plant fibers and proteins, converting them into essential organic compounds that provide animals with energy and nutrition ...

Drying off the dairy cow [PDF]
, 2006 Most dairy cows generally have a non-lactating, “dry period” prior to parturition. As the milk production of dairy cows has increased dramatically during the last decades, cows managed conventionally with a 12 to 13 month-calving interval are dried off ...

Agricultural Economics, Volume 53, Issue S1, Page 121-137, November 2022., 2022 Abstract This article analyzes the impact of producer organizations (POs) on dairy farmers’ self‐assessed experiences of unfair trading practices (UTPs) and negotiation power. We employ an endogenous switching regression (ESR) model using cross‐sectional survey data collected in four EU countries: France, Germany, Spain, and Poland.

Pricing efficiency in livestock auction markets: A two‐tier frontier approach
Agricultural Economics, Volume 53, Issue S1, Page 139-151, November 2022., 2022 Abstract We estimate the pricing efficiency of a livestock auction market using a two‐tier stochastic frontier model. This model captures pricing inefficiency of a hedonic pricing model for livestock via exponential error terms above and below the hedonic model specification.

Investment Analysis of Alternative Dairy Systems under MILC [PDF]
Three dairy systems, 120-cow grazing, 120-cow conventional, and 600-cow concentrated, were evaluated by internal rate of return (IRR) accounting for the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC).
